When I spoke to my mother a few days ago, I mentioned that I'm growing my hair out. Her response included the phrase "I don't approve".
I assured her that I understand about trimming split ends, and we went on to other things.
But I keep thinking about this, partly because I don't remember her explicitly saying she didn't approve of anything in close to 20 years. She hasn't said that about the tattoos, which are much further away from any social norm I might be expected to fit. Maybe she knew that a tattoo, once done, is there barring expensive surgery, whereas hair can always be cut again?
